Sonia Sotomayor was just a girl when she dared to dream big. Her dream? To become a lawyer and a judge even though shed never met one of either, and none lived in her neighborhood.

Sonia did not let the hardships of her backgroundwhich included growing up in the rough housing projects of New York Citys South Bronx, dealing with juvenile diabetes, coping with parents who argued and fought personal demons, and worrying about moneystand in her way. Always, she believed in herself. Her determination, along with guidance from generous mentors and the unwavering love of her extended Puerto Rican family, propelled her ever forward.

Eventually, all of Sonias hard work led to her appointment as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 2009, a role that she has held ever since. Written by Sonia Sotomayor. Hardcover; 352 pages.
